Urgent Care: Reducing Avoidable Admissions @openforumevents

Open Forum Events are delighted to be hosting the Urgent Care: Reducing Avoidable Admissions which will look at how the accident and emergency system is meeting it’s challenges. It has already been suggested that 2015/16 has seen further increases in A&E waiting times than 2014/15 which themselves were at their worst for over a decade. Our conference will look at what can be done to improve the situation and relieve A & E Departments and acute trusts.

At Urgent Care: Reducing Avoidable Admissions the programme has been developed to understand the current pressures on A & E departments and the reasons for increased emergency admissions and how these can be avoided. Our line-up of expert speakers will provide insight, opinion and stimulate debate as to how to relieve the burden on hospitals and reduce unnecessary admissions. We will showcase a number of initiatives and examples of best practice from throughout the healthcare system and there will be interactive discussions and networking amongst fellow professionals and peers.
